I’m enjoying my birthday today, and I think all of you that have sent me birthday greetings.

I have to admit, I was a little worried today when the stock market almost seemed to turn my birthday into an infamous day on Wall Street. As it turned out, the unprecedented sharp drop followed by an equally unprecedented sharp rise only succeeded in letting a little helium out (and left investors a little dizzy), but May 6 has come out okay.

I’m staying in the stock market, but I’m not sure if TD Ameritrade pitchman Sam Waterston is making me feel any more confident with his new banner:

Is it just me?…

Anyway, I have plenty of great birthday plans left. I’m soon headed down to emcee a talent show, and then drinks with friends. I’ve got more city stuff to write about, and I’ll try to get some stories posted this weekend.

    Salutations on the cyclical reoccurring 24 hour period commemorating the first time that daylight fell upon your naked body!

    Happy Birthday Randy. It’s not just you. Sam Waterston has resorted to praying for stability in the market. Probably to St Jude, patron saint of hopeless cases and impossible causes.
